[verse 1]Mother said don't pack your bagsWe ain't got no time for thatThey shut the lights off in our neighborhoodDon't know if we're coming back

[pre-chorus]I saw signs on the videoI saw signs looking back but you never knowSunrise on the radioSaid the sharp bulbs long linesThe false signs come in stereoTip of my scale is like a waveAnd I figured onDon't know if I can let it goI ain't got more timeSo don't look down don't close your eyes[chorus]Fly closer to heaven and far from hellFly put your wings up so put your wings upFly far from the city we knew so wellFly so put your wings up put your wings upTime we say goodbye to the neighborhood

[verse 2]Mother said don't pack your bagsWe ain't got no time for thatWe'll witch our names up in our neighborhoodWe'll make sure we don't attract

[pre-chorus]I saw signs on the videoI saw signs looking back but you never knowA sunrise on the radioSaid the sharp bulbs long linesThe false signs come in stereoTip of my scale is like a waveAnd I figured onDon't know if I can let it goI ain't got more timeSo don't look down don't close your eyes

[chorus]Fly closer to heaven and far from hellFly put your wings up so put your wings upFly far from the city we knew so wellFly so put your wings up put your wings upTime we say goodbye to the neighborhood

[bridge]Do you hear us do you see my faceI want the world to knowWhat are we now for the loveLike animals just to find a homeSearching the horizon for a signAll I see is dark but I sail onI can hear my heart beat harderI'm still here but not much fartherNow we sit now we walkNow they turn us back downI don't speak I don't stopI just keep on moving

[chorus]Fly closer to heaven and far from hellFly put your wings up so put your wings upFly far from the city we know so wellFly so put your wings up so put your wings upTime we say goodbye
